Kickstarter for ‘Haven in the Mist’ Surpasses $100K and Keeps Gaining Momentum

Ah, crowdfunding campaigns. They can be such a trip, right? So, a while back—I think it was late last month—Resolute Games decided to jump into the chaotic world of raising funds for their new VRMMO, “Eldramoor: Haven in the Mist.” And let’s just say things are, uh, going pretty well. They cracked that $100,000 mark and seem to be on a roll. Not bad, huh?

So, picture this: June 24th rolls around, and the Eldramoor campaign goes live. Everyone’s talking about how it could bring back the vibe from the old Orbus VR game, which, by the way, was recently shut down. Bummer for Orbus fans, but exciting times for Eldramoor hopefuls.

Here’s a little background scoop—Resolute Games was actually started by some die-hard Orbus players. And, wow, talk about starting strong! Just 1.5 hours in, bam, they hit the $25,000 minimum goal. Kind of makes you wonder if the goal was on the low side for such a big project? They’re promising, like, everything including the virtual kitchen sink—classes, quests, magic, you name it.

Lynn M. Souza, who runs the show over at Resolute Games, had this idea to mimic Zenith’s initial goal. Maybe a strategic play for quick wins? Or maybe it’s just about getting a foot in the door. Hard to tell sometimes.

Then you’ve got these stretch goals. A “Bonfire” healing system? Earth and Air abilities? It’s like they’re throwing all kinds of cool stuff out there. New species to play with, guest access in player housing. And hey, pets are in the mix too. Not just cute and fluffy either—they’re going to be actual sidekicks in adventures once they hit $125,000.

The plan? Get this game out on Quest 3 and SteamVR by late 2026. Feels like ages away, but time flies when you’re… well, distracted by everything else in life. The campaign’s wrapping up on July 24th, so a bit more time for backers to decide if they’re in. Curious? Check out their Kickstarter for more.
